God-level Demon Hunter

"The targets it chooses are also very particular, usually those who have done bad things, wrong things, or other animals, Sim absorbs their negative emotions such as fear, regret, and guilt. And with their real experiences Construct dreams based on the blueprint, constantly arouse the negative emotions of these creatures, and corrupt and destroy their sanity."

When Sewell heard this, his lips trembled slightly, and even the thick beard trembled very conspicuously.

"God, invisible devil, how could I mess with such a thing!"

"Don't be afraid," Roy said even more vigorously, "Please listen to me. Only the host can hear Him's whispers. It attacks with nightmares, creates illusions, inflicts spiritual pain on the host, and indirectly drains the host's vitality."

"The parasitized person usually can't sleep well, and is haunted by nightmares. And the nightmares become more and more frequent and realistic, until they completely destroy the host's sanity, make him commit suicide, or... go crazy!"

When these words landed, Sewell nearly collapsed and grabbed Lei Suo's right hand tightly. His face was blushed, and he was terrified of being ravaged by the storm.

"Lord Lei Suo, Sim, this devil is hurting me, please help me eradicate it!"

"There is a premise to solve Sim for you." Lei Suo still had a cold face, while Roy continued to explain for him, "The devil is very tricky, and it cannot be attacked by normal means. We must use your inner fear to kill it." Seduce it out, and then let the witcher deal with it, such as Master Lei Suo."

"So please tell us honestly what's on your mind, the crux of your heart, the wrong thing you committed."

Sewell suddenly closed his eyes in pain, "I'm sorry, I...I have to think about it." As soon as he mentioned the nightmare, he seemed to be freed from fear in an instant, regained his sobriety, and looked at the two with a faint look Be vigilant, preventing the two from finding out his secret.

"It's late, I'm going to ask the servant to prepare dinner. Let's talk about this matter when you two come tomorrow."

The two felt a little regretful, but they didn't force it.

"I knew it earlier, Lei Suo, you should give him another Axii trick."

"It's not as simple as you think. The probability of casting the Axii Seal on the same target three times in a short period of time is too high to be resisted. Now that he has precautions in mind, it is easier to fail the spell."

Seeing Roy's slightly disappointed look, Lei Suo shook his head,

"Little ghost, calm down and be patient. A good hunter will wait until the best time, and then give the prey a fatal blow, and reap the greatest sense of accomplishment."

isn't it?The demon hunter is desperately working hard to solve troubles for others, is it just to make a living?They are also looking for the sense of accomplishment after completing the commission.

Maybe Sewell apologized for his uncooperative attitude. The dinner for the two of them was extremely sumptuous, with all kinds of animals swimming in the water, flying in the sky, and running on the ground, as well as many specialties of Mahakam, all kinds of delicacies. Dazzling, it can be called the best meal Roy has eaten since he came here.

When the bright moon rose and Roy hiccupped and left from Sewell's mansion, most of the dissatisfaction in his heart was put down.

"Little ghost, come to my room first when you go back to the tavern."

"what happened?"

"Continue to learn about monster traces that I didn't finish teaching during the day. You personally participated in the first commission today, so you can strike while the iron is hot and learn a little more."

While talking, the two left the rich area and walked into a dark and quiet alley. Suddenly, a guy in a black cloak rushed straight in front of them.

Half of his face was hidden in the shadows. It could be seen that he was a boy of thirteen or fourteen. There was an ugly scar under the right eye that was as long as the index finger. His tone was full of fanaticism and anger.

"Innocent people, see clearly Tavik's atrocities! The revolution will surely win!" After speaking, he stuffed a notice into Roy's hands, and quickly flew into the darkness, disappearing without a trace.

Roy came to the moonlight with the notice, and let the drunken Leto read it out for him, "Vernon Ryan, the great revolutionary leader of Edsburgh, worked for the benefit of the people, but was killed by the cruel Tavi Baron C. captured and imprisoned him for three months."

"Everyone with a clear conscience, please gather at the Prophet's Square in Rebioda at [-] o'clock tomorrow afternoon to participate in the protest march!"

"The pioneers of the revolution are immortal, and the pure flame will surely burn the corrupt and ignorant baronies!"

Chapter 11 The Secret of the Dwarves

"Demon hunters don't get involved in politics." Lei Suo made a decision for Roy in one sentence, and quickly tore up the notice.

Roy did not intend to participate in the so-called parade. The atrocities of the revolutionary army looting outside the city really disgusted him!

Furthermore, no matter how the revolutionary army and the government army fight, the civilians will always be the ones who suffer the most. He can almost imagine the scene of the civilians who participated in the parade crying tomorrow and being taken into prison by the soldiers.

The night passed, and the next morning, the two arrived at Xavier Hogg's mansion and followed the guards into the gate. The dwarf wine merchant who had been waiting waved away the guards and maids.

He lowered his head and gritted his teeth, clasped his hands tightly, extremely nervous, even paced back and forth several times in front of the two of them, and after a while, he let out a long sigh.

"Can you two give me a guarantee, and swear an oath that you will never disclose to anyone... no, including ancient races and any creatures, what I will say later."

Sewell raised his head suddenly, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Lei Suo and Roy looked at each other, with empty teeth and no evidence, the dwarf dared to listen to their promise?

Sewell seemed to see what the two of them were thinking, "I can't help it, I really can't stand that monster... It's the torment you two called Sim, if this continues, I will die!"

His eyes widened, and the pupils were bloodshot. It seemed that after the demon hunter left last night, he still hadn't had a good rest.

"And even if you make an oath, I don't think anyone will be tempted as long as you make a big deal! I want a guarantee from you, just for peace of mind."

He smiled bitterly.

Lei Suo raised his eyebrows like a knife. As one of the few remaining members of the Viper School, his pride did not allow him to lie about such matters.

"Money can buy many people, but the witcher is not among them!"

"Before accepting the entrustment, Your Excellency did not declare that we need to swear. An oath is by no means an ordinary guarantee. It is entwined with the power of fate like the law of accident, and fate is hard to break."

"So, the witcher's oath will never be taken lightly!"

Leto stretched out a finger towards the dwarf.

"I have to pay more!"

The dwarf twitched when he heard it, but he was a little happy. The more serious the demon hunter's performance, the more reliable he is?

Seeing this, Roy stretched out 5 fingers on the stick, "50 crowns, well, as long as you pay one-half of Master Lei Suo, you can get the oath of an apprentice of the Viper School."

The three of them hit it off immediately, and now the total entrusted remuneration has risen from the initial 200 to 350 crowns, but it is completely affordable for a rich and powerful dwarf wine merchant.

"I, Lei Suo of Guleta, swear by the reputation of the Viper Academy, that I will never reveal the secrets of Lord Xavier Hogg today to anyone, the ancient race, or other guys, otherwise the gods will punish me and make me unable to do so in my lifetime." To see the moment when the school re-emerges."

"I, Roy, swear to...well...Goddess Meritelli, I will never reveal a single word I heard from Lord Xavier Hogg today, otherwise..."

Roy neither believed in the prophet Lebioda nor the goddess Melitelli, but his oath was not false, and he would keep his mouth shut.

……

Half an hour later, Lei Suo and Roy followed Xavier Hawke into the master bedroom on the third floor. Lei Suo first cast an Igni seal to ignite a raging flame in the fireplace, and then lit four torches as tall as a person, and circled around placed against the four corners of the dwarf's bed.

The entire bedroom, all corners are brightly lit, without the slightest shadow.

"Mr. Sewell, please lie down on the bed now."

The dwarf did as he said, covering his body with a quilt nervously, and then Lei Suo's voice sounded in his ears, "Now there are only three of us, you can tell your nightmare, that secret."

The dwarf closed his eyes, his face twisted slightly in pain, and he began to tell his own story slowly.

"This is a story about my good brother Akon."

"Akon is from Redania. His father is a half-elf and his mother is a human. That's right, he is a quarter-elf who is destined to be extraordinary in people's mouth, so his appearance is no different from that of a pure human. .”

"He is a wise man. He often said a word, 'drinks will corrode people's sanity', so he did not drink at all. After coming to the Mahakam Mountains, he often advised me and asked me to learn from Brovar Hogg An inconspicuous nephew under him became a hot figure, and finally defeated Zoltan Ziva and other competitors, and mastered the liquor agency rights of Edsberg."

"He is my great benefactor and also my good brother. But his character is not born to be under others for a long time. After following me to Edsberg, he soon had a new goal and left my team .”

"Maybe it was because he saw his father being abused and discriminated against by humans in Redania since he was a child, and he never enjoyed a fair social status. He despised all injustice and discrimination from the bottom of his heart, and put all his efforts into Take action, actually resist."

"There is no doubt that the super-high taxation of the entire Aden is extremely unfair. Therefore, he used his wisdom to secretly gather all the civilians who dared to resist."

"Regardless of race, regardless of past, as long as you have the courage to pursue freedom and justice, and have the courage to resist, you can join Aken's team and get free board and lodging. Of course, part of his funds will be funded by me. Maybe it's because of the Adian people's blood There are seeds of revolution in it, and the team has grown very quickly, and soon reached the point where Baron Tavik had to pay attention."

"A fifth faction appeared in Edsberg besides the baron army, the civilians, the sparrow gang, and the dwarves of Mahakam. The initial balance of power was broken, and Tavik, a moderate baron, started a relationship with Akon. The negotiation. It went very smoothly at the beginning, and the negotiation achieved a result that almost everyone was satisfied with. The tax on farmers and merchants was reduced by one-fifth. I advised Akon to stop, but he was not satisfied and calmed down for a while. Then continue to put pressure on the Baron."

"Alas, the Prophet said that 'the anger of an honest man can burn the entire Mahakam', the baron was angered by his aggressive behavior, and issued a wanted order!"

Hearing this, Roy's eyes lit up, and he had already guessed the real identity of this Akon.

"In order to avoid being searched, Aken secretly found me for help. As a good brother, I was obliged to take him in. I swear to the Holy Mountain, I hid him in the most hidden place in the entire Seville mansion."

Roy and the witcher remained calm, as if they didn't know anything.

"The wine barrels in the basement are endless, and the soldiers can't stop searching for them. What's more, I don't allow them to open the barrels and spoil my fine wine. The baron dare not offend Mahakam's power too much and let the soldiers do so. As it should be, they Arkon was not found hiding in a cask of dwarven spirits over 60 years old."

"Akon is very safe..." There was a wry smile on Sewell's face, "It's a pity that I missed one thing. He doesn't drink alcohol at all. He has never drank alcohol. The amount of alcohol is even lighter than that of a newborn baby."

"When I went back to the wine cellar and opened the wine barrel, he actually... actually... fainted by the smell of the spirits, lay flushed in the half barrel of spirits, as if he had fallen asleep, but no matter how I called him None of them woke up."

"He's dead!" Sewell sat up straight from the bed, grabbed Lei Suo's bear paw, blew his beard and stared, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"It's ridiculous! How jealous of talents! A wise man who didn't drink alcohol died drunk in my wine cellar. I dreamed of Akon every night. He came to ask me why I used fine wine to murder him. life. I failed his kindness to me."

After hearing the whole story, Lei Suo felt a sense of absurdity in his heart. The guy who obviously didn't drink alcohol died in the barrel.

"I'm a bastard... I... I deserve the nightmare... I'm sorry for him! But I didn't murder him!"

"Woooo..." The dwarf with five big eyes and three thick panda eyes kept talking like a dream, and then wept loudly with his face covered, like a gigantic child. Roy couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he saw this.

"Okay, we have all the ins and outs of the matter. Your Excellency Sewell, calm down quickly, and follow us to the wine cellar to see the situation. According to what you said, the wine cellar is undoubtedly the place you are most afraid of. If there is no accident, Sim Will manifest there!"

"Ah? I... can I not go?!" Sewell tightened his body in fear. He was very conflicted. He wanted to see this guy who had been pestering him for several months, but he couldn't suppress it. The fear in my heart.

And Lei Suo pretended to think for a moment, "You are watching us near the door of the wine cellar!"

"Here...the key...the key is for you!"

Chapter 12 Acting Witcher

When he came to the door of the wine cellar and went down the stairs, Lei Suo lit several torches, exposing the dwarf's whole body to the flames.

"Roy, you stay here with Mr. Sewell, I'll go in and kill that thing!"

Lei Suo looked at the dwarf with piercing eyes, and solemnly urged,

"Keep quiet and try not to be afraid, otherwise Sim will absorb your fear and become stronger, and it will cost me more."

Sewell was ordered to stand still like a frightened hedgehog, almost holding his breath.

"Roy, you must teach him well!"

The latter nodded, also looking as if he was facing a big enemy.

"Sevier Hogg is really a weirdo. It's probably true that he got to where he is today. Most of the credit goes to the brother who turned the barrel into a corpse."

Until the hill-like figure of the bald witcher disappeared behind a pile of wine barrels in the depths of the wine cellar, the two stared at each other with big eyes, and the atmosphere was quiet and terrifying.

"Mr. Sewell, play a game with me..."

Roy grinned wide, showing an honest and simple smile,

"Let's do activities that are beneficial to the body and mind, and have a hearty Gwent card duel!"

The dwarf wine merchant is not short of money, but he is.

Sewell stood with his index finger beside his thick lips surrounded by dark brown beard, turned his face and glanced at Lasso, as if he was not interested in this proposal.

"The more worried you are, the easier it is to lure Sim over. And in this situation, can you propose activities that can pass the time better than Gwent cards?"

Upon hearing the word Sim, the dwarf subconsciously leaned close to the wall and then shrank his pupils, only to find that the little brother with a harmless smile on the opposite side had two more Gwent cards in his hand for no reason.

"Sorry, I don't play Gwent cards." The dwarf shook his head and declined Roy.

Roy didn't give up after hearing this, but continued to persuade with a smile, "The gameplay is very simple, I guarantee you will find out that there are more wonderful things than drinking when you learn it."

His attention was obviously attracted by this sentence, he stopped stretching his neck and blindly glanced at Lei Suo's position, "You are a gambler if you are young. But you are wrong. Except for ore, fine wine It is the heart of the Mahakam dwarves, and Gwent cards are occasionally used to pass the time."

"Listen to my advice. Help Master Lei Suo's work well, save a sum of money to start a small business, and then marry a wife to carry on the family line. Don't always think about the Gwent card. Otherwise, one day in the future, you will lose Not even underwear left."

"It's fine if you don't play." Roy shrugged, without forcing, and muttered in a low voice, "Unfortunately, I wanted to see the Scoia'tael deck."

"What?!" Sewell suddenly roared, standing up like an angry lion cub, his thick black eyebrows almost stood up, "Where did you hear about Scoia'tael?"

His curious and urgent tone actually suppressed the fear of Him that was entrenched in his heart.

"The Scoia'tael, isn't it a coalition of non-human races against humans?" Roy's face froze after speaking. Before the first Northern War, the Scoia'tael was still active underground and did not officially show up.He accidentally slipped his mouth.

Sewell's facial features were huddled together, and his expression was extremely weird, "A few years ago, an organization called Scoia'tael used extremely racist slogans to confuse and take away many dwarves in Mahakam. The neutral faction led by Elder Brovar Hogg The Mahakam dwarves are no match for them. But the secret is only among the ancient race."

"I know it's not surprising, but where did you know it?"

"Bang!" Suddenly, a short and swift impact interrupted the confrontation between the two. The sound seemed to have an indescribable magical power, which reminded the dwarf of the moment when the battering ram hit the city gate, and the entire wine cellar exploded. The ground seemed to tremble slightly.

The two couldn't help their blood boiling for a while.

"This is... the seal of Alder! Shim is going to suffer!"

With a roar, Roy seized the opportunity to throw off Sewell and ran to the front row of wine barrels, poking his head out into the depths.

Sewell was also interrupted by this accident, and he stopped worrying about asking about the Scoia'tael, and looked over nervously.

"Disgusting devil, your tricks have no effect in front of me!"

There was a sonorous and powerful roar from the depths of the wine cellar, and at the same time, the bald Lei Suo's body jumped out of the cover of the pile of wine barrels with the agility of a big cat, turned his face and glanced at the two of them whether intentionally or not.

ferocious!
